Novel & Cerita True Cyan

"No, Tilda. This is about him." Ciro. The name curls in my chest like poison. My lips shape it before I can stop myself. "Ciro." Duncan's eyes narrow. Where Ciro's carry weight, Duncan's carry hunger. "My dear cousin," he spits. "The almighty Alpha. The golden son. The one the people worship. And me? His shadow. The weapon at his side. The cousin he parades when it suits him, then shoves aside when it doesn't." I tilt my head and study him. My heart thrums in agreement. He's spoken the truth most are too blind to see.

I had never in my entire life blushed because of a man, so to blush every time Rai looked at me and smiled, must have said something about how beautiful he was. I asked them about their eyes, and Damian told me they were natural. His eye color is called Cognac, like the fine brandy. No wonder it looks more orangey than Amber. I, myself, wore gray contacts as I don’t have a 20/20 vision. I was envious of their natural eye colors.

Turning towards her, I try to ease her fears, “I need to get some clothes. What I need is upstairs. We will stop there, then the temple. It will be easier to explain everything if I can show you.” She nods and looks at me. I notice her eyes for the first time. They are blue and green. Blue around her pupil, then they turn green the further out they go. It is a little odd. I’ve never seen colors mix like that. We walk up the stairs. The woman says, “I’m Tru, by the way.” “What?” What’s true? Is she telling me she’s real? I can clearly see her, hear her heart beating, and smell her. I know she’s real.

I buried my head into the crook of his neck in shame as he let out an airy laugh. I felt myself relax into his body and I closed my eyes, breathing in his scent. "Tired?" I hummed as I sat up and pushed myself back over the console into my chair, still trying to regulate my erratic breathing. Looking at Cain, I noticed something odd. "Your eyes are blue," I told him, leaning in to inspect their change in color. "They've been doing that for a few days," he said. "I suppose it's because I've shifted quite a few times."

The truth. My name was Tru Parker and I could sense the truth. What kind of freaking coincidence was that? Add super healing and night sight, and I guess that put me in the inhuman, hybrid, or freak of nature category.

Calming, taking deep breaths, and flickering a glance up at Toya once more. “My eyes… what did you see?” It’s the only thing she said that stuck. “Blue isn’t your color when you engage whatever this was.” Kaelin is the one to answer, and this surprises me. Because I have wolved the last few days and blue is for sure my constant color no matter what form I am in. They never change as they never have. Always blue, eternally glowing since birth. Just brighter as a wolf. “So what were they?” “Purple… well, blue purple sort of.” Toya shrugs, like she isn’t sure she actually saw that color, and Kaelin nods because he saw it too.

I wasn’t really listening to the male now, my eyes taking in every molecule of the precious gem. Huh? That’s not right. I brushed my finger over it when it was in reach like everyone else, taking in the sheen of the stone. That’s a tanzanite… What the fuck are they trying to do here?.. the stone had a slight purple quality to it, not a deep and true blue like a sapphire. Plus, the refraction as completely wrong.

The turquoise liquid glimmered like a gemstone, and I couldn't help but feel pride swell in my chest. But I held back a darker secret, a creation born from desperation and chance. In a flurry of failed attempts, I had also managed to produce a lethal concoction I dubbed "Sudden Death." Unlike the antidote, it bore an unsettling shade of turquoise, bright and inviting at first glance. Still, under the glowing laboratory lights, it carried an eerie hue reminiscent of the ocean's depths, an ominous warning of its true nature.

But for Alex, he automatically knew who it was as he immediately recognized his white hoodie that got splattered with paint in the colors of the rainbow. He scrolled up and as the caption, he simply had a blue heart emoji. "Blue."

I affirmed like a lovestruck lady. "Do you trust me?" "No." I smiled, he chuckled. His hold on me tightened and then his eyes flashed a brief shade of blue. My smile deepened. His Wolf eye color was different compared to other werewolves that were golden brown. He was unique just like mine. I wondered why they were blue though but before I could ponder further, golden butterflies surrounded us. And then we gradually ascended into the sky. In a strange way, it felt like my heels were still against the ground but in reality, we were already amidst the clouds.
